MINE
Lena Monroe has spent years perfecting the role of the good wife : writing fairytales by day, playing the part of Mark’s flawless partner by night. But when a car accident lands her in the arms of Dr. Daniel Carter, her husband’s old rival and the man with a scandalous past, Lena’s carefully constructed world starts to unravel.
Broken Rules
Vanessa swore she was done with men who only wanted to own her. After Daniel, the brilliant, cruel neurosurgeon who seduced her away from her old boss and then left her with scars and secrets, she’s tired of Doms who confuse pain with power. She’s even more tired of pretending she doesn’t miss the man she left behind.

Who am I?
That depends on which side of the story you’re standing on.
I write romances where power is negotiated, desire is complicated, and love is never harmless. My characters cross lines deliberately, and they pay for it. I’m drawn to the moment where restraint fails—and to what survives afterward.
Trained as a psychologist and certified as a yoga teacher, I’m fascinated by contradiction. Control and surrender. Discipline and obsession. What breaks us—and what rebuilds us differently.
When I’m not writing, I’m teaching, reading between silences, or quietly mapping out my next story.
If you think you understand forbidden passion, you may not have met mine yet.

YOURS
In Geneva, “happily ever after” is only the beginning of the negotiation.
Lena Monroe didn’t fall in love with Daniel Carter for the fantasy. She chose him knowing the cost: his past, his scars, his children, his ghosts. What she wants now isn’t perfection. It’s a life that feels real—mornings with coffee, teenagers slamming doors, pages to write, a man who doesn’t let her disappear.
On paper, she has it.
A home with Daniel.
Lucas, fifteen, testing every boundary he can find.
His eleven-year-old daughter who adores Lena and quietly tries to fix what the adults are too tired to say aloud.
And a first dark romance ready to be published, where she finally puts her own shadows on the page.
But Geneva doesn’t care about paper.
While Lena learns how to exist in a family that isn’t built on appearances, Daniel is pulled deeper into the world he thought he could keep separate: the off-grid lab, the Calix project, the line between saving lives and rewriting what life means.
THE SCEAU BLANC SAGA
Mine
She perfected the art of invisibility.
He perfected the art of obsession.
Lena Monroe has everything: a powerful husband, a beautiful Geneva home—a life that looks flawless from the outside. But inside, she’s disappearing fast. Her only true escape? Writing forbidden, filthy novels under a secret pen name. Her words are dark… and definitely not for public consumption.
Enter Dr. Daniel Carter: brilliant, dangerous, out for revenge against the man who destroyed his career (hint: Lena’s husband). Seducing Lena was supposed to be his weapon.
But then Daniel stumbles on Lena’s secret pages—her unfulfilled fantasies, her hidden cravings, every dark desire she’s too scared to say out loud. Now? Destroying her husband isn’t enough. Daniel wants to give Lena every wicked thing she’s written about—whether she’s ready or not.
When the man sent to break you becomes the only one who truly sees you…
Game over for everyone.
Mine is book one of The Carter Dynasty Trilogy—a dark romance loaded with obsession, power plays, and oh-so-dirty words.
Mature content, obsessive antihero, power dynamics, cliffhanger ending!
Audiobook available on Spotify.

Yours
Carter Dynasty Trilogy, Book 2
She tried to choose safe. She tried to be a good wife, a good mother, the woman who could make herself whole by force of will and perfectly filtered posts. But the hunger never left. Daniel Carter still lives under her skin, haunting every touch—even while her husband tells the world he’s proud to love a “dark romance queen.”
Now Lena Monroe is Mara Black—dangerous, honest, finally visible. But the more she feeds the world her stories, the more Daniel pushes her from fantasy into addiction. Late night texts. Lingering shadows. The promise: you’re not just writing it, you’re living it now.
Mark thinks he can protect her, own her, even play her games. But Daniel knows better.
Some desires can’t be buried.
Some men refuse to let you go—even when you beg them to.
Some women can’t be kept safe, because when the fire’s inside you, safety just means you burn slower.
Yours is where pretending ends—and true surrender begins.
🌶️🌶️🌶️ Explicit, Dual POV, deeper obsession, even bigger stakes.
Book 2 of The Carter Dynasty Trilogy.
For mature, messed-up, and dangerously hungry hearts only.

Years ago, in a hospital room heavy with antiseptic and unfinished promises, Noah made his best friend Liam and the woman he loved swear something neither of them truly understood.
A promise that would change all their lives.
Now Noah is gone.
But the promise remains.
Liam Morel and Élise Adler have built their lives around it—around guilt, silence, and the ghost of a man who should still be there. Control is the only way Liam knows how to survive. Élise clings to the life she believes Noah wanted for her.
And then Sophie Dubois comes back.
Sophie has always burned for Liam. Always known the darkness behind his perfect restraint. She should stay away from him—and from the fragile life Élise is trying to hold together.
But some desires refuse to stay buried.
In Geneva’s most dangerous circles, where power hides behind old money and older secrets, love is never simple and loyalty can become a weapon.
Sooner or later, someone will have to break the promise.

Important Note from the Author
This novel is not a BDSM manual, and it isn’t an American-style dark romance filled with mafia violence or shock scenes.
It is the story of Liam Morel — a young man struggling to reconcile who he is with what the world expects him to be. His dominance is psychological, shaped by grief, loyalty, and the rigid traditions of the Sceau Blanc, an old Swiss society built on reputation and control.
Inside you will find explicit scenes, emotional power dynamics, grief, manipulation, and trauma.
If you’re looking for a cozy romance, this is probably not your book.
But if you enjoy stories about complicated people making impossible choices — welcome.
